Hey, it's not my fault your city decided to build your airport downtown, and as such don't have buildings over 150m. And don't get mad at me because you aren't building tons of highrises like Calgary, Toronto and Vancouver are. You can try to make what I said an insuly all you want, it wasn't intended to be so fuck off.

FYI Edmonton has more buildings over 12 storeys than calgary...

regardless, all cdn cities are doing much better and im happy to see that.

remind me to buy you a prairie fire we meet for drinks

^i love the density of calgary's but honestly find Edmonton's much more balanced and given the river valley for more photogenic.

however, the quality and volume of recent projects in calgary does make me green with envy.

Some home town biases on this site are so funny. It's obvious that at some point in the last economic boom in Alberta that Calgary's skyline surpassed Edmonton's in style, height, balance, and scale. Their really is no question about it. And if Edmonton's was so photogenic, why do I have a tough time picturing it without googling it? I mean if I saw a picture of it I'd know what city I'm looking at, but if somebody asked me to make a simple sketch I wouldn't know where to begin. Calgary on the other hand I could get most of it right.

Sorry for perpetuating this argument, when I get home I'll try and ad something a bit more constructive.

It just seems small town compared to Calgary. And each year the gap gets greater and greater. Actually it reminds me a lot of North Yorks Skyline.

It's not that Edmonton is small time, it's just that Calgary's skyline is that of a city 5x the size, we are just so big time (not to get cocky, but it is true) we make Edmonton look small, when in fact it has a skyline of a city 2-3x it's size.
